Antique Architectural Ornament Mold: Crest and Flowers vintage celluloid egg The tin would have once

The tin would have once held laurel berries

or put to some other creative use

Antique Architectural Ornament Mold: Crest and Flowers vintage celluloid egg The tin would have onceI see a lot of old wooden industrial molds but only occasionally do I across across ones like this, filled with a pitch wood resin mold material, and used for casting ornaments for architecture, molding and picture frames. This is the largest of several I'm listing, with a crest form set at an angle along with three different flowers, which I really love altogether for the sort of strangeness of the composition. Photographs don't quite do justice
